The latest certificate (October 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Across 2007–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £166,000 is 21.2% above the 2021 sale price.
